LANDSCAPING SERVICES
A SAFE FUTURE
As we begin the new year it is certainly not new news that the UK faces a continued and significant threat from international terrorism . There have of course been well published attacks against protected sights across the globe however crowded places remain an easy target . Accessible and readily available crowded street scenes remain an attractive prospect for serious disruption to society and loss of life .
Last year the government set out a proposal , a new Protect Duty , that it is to be a legal requirement for public places to ensure preparedness for future terrorist attacks . The commitment is to improve the safety and security of public spaces and venues . These proposals have been ignited by victims ’ groups such as the Martyn ’ s law campaign established by Figen
Murray , whose son tragically died in the Manchester arena attack that took place in 2017 .
Home Secretary Priti Patel said : I have heard first hand from those who have sadly lost loved ones in horrific terror attacks , and thank them for their tireless work to ensure others do not share their tragedy .
This Government has already taken significant steps to amend our powers and strengthen the tools for dealing with the developing terrorist threats we face , and we will always take the strongest possible action to protect our national security .
That is why we want all organisations responsible for public venues and spaces to put public safety and security first .
